Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:49:21 +1000Locke2605@/forum/discussionsHere is the place for all your street team activity. When I am talking street team I mean taking the fliers out and putting them up in important, witty, or high traffic areas for the rest of the world to see. Take a picture and submit it here. Hopefully we can get some awesome shots, or just some good effort to spread the word. I am trying to be dedicated and will see if I can get one unique post per week on different places that we have put the noobtoob fliers that our amazing artists have done. Feel free to post your pictures here with decent captions if need be.

My biggest contribution to NooBTooB is undoubtedly the "orchestral" intro theme that started being used with episode 97 (the infamous Metal Gear Solid 4 episode).

About 10 episodes prior, someone had called in, doing a sort of "live performance" of the NooBTooB theme on their electronic keyboard. Tobin and Yuzo danced to it and gave it praise, and then encouraged other members to send different covers of the NooBTooB theme in. I believe Locke had done a didgeridoo version four episodes prior to mine, and I became inspired to do my own. I had done a few other versions prior, but I ultimately canned them because they weren't very good, and thus I created the version that we all became familiar with post-episode 97. (And it's still used when Tobin and Yuzo return!) I had sent in many other versions of the NooBTooB theme later on, but the first one I sent in was the one that became the standard one.

Anyway, I thought it'd be nice to try and redo the arrangement I made, staying true to how I made it 8 years ago. Enjoy!

Back in the good ole days I'd host Halo events for people to come hang out, and just have a good time on Saturdays. Lots of fun was had and now that MCC is out on Xbox One and Halo 5 in October it got me wondering if it would worth it to revive these events, being dependent on how many people have Xbones and MCC and would be planning on getting Halo 5.

It was a lot of custom maps, and game-types. I had videos sitting around somewhere but can't find them sadly. Oh well.

Just trying to get a head-count cause NooBTooB Events were the bomb. And to this day, the members of the NT are my favorite people to sit down and game with.]]>What we Love and Miss about Noobtoobhttp://noobtoob.com/forum/discussion/24960/what-we-love-and-miss-about-noobtoob
Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:18:09 +1100DonMatteo1324960@/forum/discussions

Not to get too sappy but one of the biggest things I loved and miss about noobtoob is that, throughout their whole time doing the show and their peaks in popularity, they never forgot why they were doing it in the first place; for pure fun. They never did it to make money or to start a big company which generated heaps of attention/profit and lost what it was about, it was always about just two friends having a drink and talking about games. And that was their biggest charm, the realistic nature of the show and the human aspect that they brought so early on in the youtube era. I might be a tad bias in what I say as I started listening to noobtoob when I was 13 and they were the first major gaming podcast I would watch/listen to religiously. But I know that to all those reading this right now, you feel the same because you're still hanging around giving back to the community and trying to connect with other noobtoobers.

That is just one thing I miss about watching them on a weekly basis (I still turn on an ep whenever slogging through one of my back log games that I have no story interest in or just in the car driving to and from random places). I have both Tobin and Yuzo as friends on facebook so hopefully this generates a great amount of feedback so I can directly link it to them and they can always look back at it as a reference and a thank you from us. I look forward to hearing what all you love and miss as well.

NOTE: I apologise if there has already been something like this done, I didn't do much searching as it is pretty late here in Aus, but hopefully this still generates a lot of discussion.

Mon, 16 Dec 2013 01:22:45 +1100sloth24484@/forum/discussionsDear all,

The previous server and forum system encountered severe issues and it has taken this long to unfuck, repair, salvage and sort everything out. The critical point was to not lose our eight years of discussion and that's been achieved.

The blog entries did not make it but I will spend more time on the old server manually copying and pasting it all so that those who put in the effort, do not see it disappear. I'll private message out compiled word documents soon (tm).

I know that NooBTooB does not get as many visitors as when the show was broadcasted weekly however it would be nice to have a site that perseveres and is somewhere that you can always come back to.

So welcome back and feel free to post any feedback regarding the new site. Queries can go here or to forum@noobtoob.com, including account recoveries. There's a bit of work ahead with it but we've got all the time in the world.

New Show Incoming - Yuzo and Tobin leaked a little teaser for a new episode that would be coming soon. We aren’t too sure when that will be but Littleg has posted up a thread to let you guys know. So if you missed the announcement or just want to chat shit about the forthcoming show head over to site discussion and have your say.

WiG - Littleg also has a weekly thread over in the gaming culture section of the site that lets you inform everyone what it is you have been playing in the past week. This seems to be the most popular aspect of the site recently so go check it out. Tell us what you have been playing, let other people know what you think about their game selection.

NONE - come on guys I know its a quiet period but lets review some games. Old games, Iphone games anything.

Antichamber Dead Space 3Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

3 games that were released in the past 7 days. Get those reviews flowing lets hear what you thought of the games. soon we have Aliens: Colonial Marines. Lets see someone tackle that for the site.

Community Events

Again we have squat. I remember a time when we used to play Halo 3, Call of Duty and Gears of War on the regular. Loads of competitions and community nights going off lets see more of those again. Lets all pull in and play some Halo 4 with Manio or bring back the Forza night that kinda had a bit of popularity recently.

Finally I would like to make a shout out to the Modcast crew, they do a great job week in week out and their show is always interesting to listen to. It makes my daily commutes much easier for at least one day a week.

My hope with this is not to just bring more discussion to the site where discussion is deserved but to also bring back the NooBTooBer of the week. Something I think the site has been missing recently and hopefully something that in the future will make all of us strive to be better members of the community. As a general rule I will probably call a vote, infact I ask you to suggest someone in this thread as a response or along with your response and the person with the most votes will receive the prize of bugger all (well an extra mention at the bottom of this thread, but thats it). If you think this feature is not needed or that I am overstepping my mark as a member of the community (with the thread in general or the community member of the week) please let me know. I don’t want anyone to be offended by the idea I had. I just want to bring NooBTooB back. For all of us.

As this is the first NooBTooB highlight I will choose the first NooBTooBer of the week. The choice seems obvious to me, without him I don’t think there would be any NooBTooB any more. He is a vital member of the community and definitely produces more content on the site than anyone. Littleg well done.

Remember next weeks winner will be chosen by you. Nominate someone below in the comments.]]>New show incoming!http://noobtoob.com/forum/discussion/24344/new-show-incoming

As with all video game trailers, we need to microscopically analyse this one, frame-by-frame, looking for hidden meanings. What's with the moustaches? What does it mean that Yuzo's using a white controller, but Tobin's using a black one? Does that mean that Tobin's going to be the bad guy in this episode.

Oh, who are we kidding? Tobin's the bad guy in every episode!]]>Malware on the Wiki?http://noobtoob.com/forum/discussion/24311/malware-on-the-wiki

I don't know but whenever I visit NooBTooB I go straight to the Forum button and breeze right by the blogs button and I think it would be good to put a Blogs button in the NooBTooB section, where Site Discussion and Introductions are, OR in the Content section where there are Game Reviews and UGC.

Just an idea I got all of a sudden, I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Also, Member of the Month needs to be brought back.I think little things like these would be appreciated and well, it makes it feel more like NooBTooB.]]>Origins of Yowhttp://noobtoob.com/forum/discussion/23931/origins-of-yow

Mon, 30 May 2011 14:18:51 +1000wtrswoopes21739@/forum/discussionsSince the new site was introduced the biggest question has been "Where are my noobies?" Well I'm happy to report I've found a way to restore your noobies. Unfortunately, it has to be done manually which means if you want your noobies back, you need to post here. NOT SO FAST!

I need some specific information from you to help make this easier. Use the below format.

If you are logged in at the old forum, it says it right after your username under the old tab navigation.

If you do not know how many noobies you had and can't get logged into the old forum to check, write "unknown" for your Old Noobie Count and I'll look it up for you. Remember though, if you have changed your forum name since then include your old forum name so I can look you up correctly.

How will I know when my noobies have been restored?

After I have restored your noobies, I will post 'Done' or something similar in your post. So look for the purple edit.

Hey! What happened to my half (.5) noobie?

The new database only accepts integer values (whole numbers) while the old system accepted float values (decimals). So all noobies will be rounded up to work in the new database.

Why does my noobie count next to my post no longer say how many posts earned noobies?

Since the imported number of noobies won't match up now with the number of posts in the new system; we have simplified the noobie count next to your post. To see how many noobies you have in how many posts, go to your Profile and look under the About Me tab. There is a section titled Noobies which shows how many noobies you have given and how many you have earned.

You can also now search for posts that have received noobies.

Chip said:

Seeing as this is a re-occuring thing I'll save people some time. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to go on the old forum to check your old noobie count. Mainly because there's nothing there to look at. Everything that was on the old site was moved across to this one.

Sat, 12 Mar 2011 09:37:06 +1100[Deleted User]21111@/forum/discussionsPlease post any bug reports here in this thread. If you're unsure on how to use the new software, you can post your queries in here too to get them answered.

Login with your old accounts. A lot of data has been migrated.

I hope you all enjoy the new features and this update. It's a working progress with integration with the wiki, facebook and lolcats still down, but I just wanted to get this out there.

Avatars size allowance is actually 100x100px and profile pics can be up to 200x200px. Signature images can span 600x150px.

The UGC section is largely down, but the backbone and user end of it is up. All you see now is about a third of what's to come.

Should you have any problems, this thread is the best place to get yourself sorted. Feel free to contact any admin or moderator for something more urgent, however this thread is still the best place for you to get the quickest solutions. If the site implodes, please contact me directly via email with the "Contact Us" page located at the bottom right of every page.

For now, to get everybody over here we're redirecting from the old /forum/. The old forum will have its posting and private messaging abilities disable but then it will sit there to be archived. This way, we don't break any (wiki) links to old threads and anybody who wishes to, can always log in and trundle about for the nostalgia.]]>
